30" GAS RANGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
(For Models with Sealed Top Burners)
4. Seal any openings in the wall behind
the range and in the floor under the
range after gas supply line is installed.
5. Connect the range to the gas supply.
To
prevent leaks, put a pipe joint sealant on all male
(outside) pipe threads.
Checking Manifold Gas Pressure
Disconnect the range and its individual shut-off valve
from the gas supply piping system during any pressure
testing of that system at test pressures greater than 14"
of water column pressure (approximately 1/2" psig).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 14"
of water column pressure (approximately 1/2" psig).
If it should be necessary to check the manifold gas
pressure, connect manometer (water gauge) or other
pressure device to the top burner right rear orifice.
Using a rubber hose with inside diameter of
approximately 1/4," hold tubing down tight over orifice.
Turn burner valve on.
For an accurate pressure check have at least two (2)
other top burners burning. Be sure the gas supply (inlet)
pressure is at least one inch above specified range
manifold pressure. The gas supply pressure should never
be over 14" water column. When properly adjusted for
Natural Gas the manifold pressure is 4". (For LP/Propane
Gas the manifold pressure is 10".
a) Install an external manual gas shut-off valve to gas
supply line in an easily-accessible location outside of
the range. Be sure you know how and where to
shut-off the gas supply to the range.
b) Install 1/2" flare union adapter to pressure regulator.
c) Attach appliance conduit to flare union on
regulator.
d) Install flare union adapter to external manual
shut-off valve.
e) Attach appliance conduit to flare union on shut-off
valve.
f) Make sure service shut-off valve on pressure
regulator is in "ON" position.
g) Check for leaks. Turn the gas supply on to the range
and use a liquid leak detector at all joints and
conduits to check for leaks in the system.
Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks.
Do not allow regulator to turn on
pipe when tightening fittings.
Your regulator is
located in the area shown below.
